The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has initiated a series of legislative changes in casino regulation. The new program is set to strengthen control over the gaming segment and increase its transparency.
Improved Financial Monitoring
One of the primary transformations was the enhanced empowerment of consumers. This provision has already been included in the UKGC’s Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP) and will come into force on October 31st, 2025.
According to the new rules, casino platforms must ask customers to set deposit limits before the start of the session and the 1st account replenishment. According to the reform’s initiators, this approach will allow gamblers to better control their spending.
Punters' access to expense statistics and the ability to change financial parameters are preserved. Casino visitors can use these services at any time. Gaming websites should send customers reminders about the functions every 6 months.
Focus on Security and Protection of User Data
Operators are being given new duties to:
- state in the terms of use whether client assets are safe if a person loses solvency;
- publish a complete list of measures providing information security on their websites;
- duplicate all these notions when communicating to users during their 1st depositing.
The modifications are entirely in line with the policy paper of 2023, entitled «High Stakes: Gambling Reform for the Digital Age.»
Future Changes to the UK Casino Segment
The regulator’s recent initiatives were created to make the industry more attractive to a broader audience and adapt it to the shifting needs of the gaming community. The next transformation stage is expected to begin after April 6th, 2025, when the new mandatory levy will be implemented.
The fee introduction will increase contributions to several areas, such as:
- research;
- treatment;
- prevention.
Tim Miller, one of the UKGC’s Executive Directors, stated that all the presented changes reflect the commitment to creating the fairest, safest, and most open environment for consumers.
